00:05:27.780Well, because kids, when they're two years old, right, they can't distinguish what they wish was the reality from what actually is the reality.
00:05:43.020They literally cannot tell the difference.
00:05:45.820So for him, when you ask him, what did you do today?
00:05:48.500What he hears is, what did you wish you did?
00:05:59.280He can't tell the difference between those things.
00:06:01.120So a child at this age literally psychologically cannot distinguish desire from reality.
00:06:08.180And that's one of the reasons why a two-year-old kid, they have these temper tantrums where they ask for something and then you don't give it to them right away.
00:06:14.820And they just have a total meltdown because they really don't understand why it is, you know, when he comes in and asks for some juice and you say, well, we don't have juice or wait a minute.
00:07:23.880So as I've noticed this feature in little kids, and it's very endearing and pretty hilarious when a child is two or three, but as I've noticed it in my kids, I can't help but notice how so many adults in our culture today also do the same thing.
00:07:46.820And it's kind of scary when you're a parent and you see the way little children behave, it gives you such an insight into how adults behave, especially these days in our culture, except it's not nearly as endearing or funny for adults.
00:08:05.160In fact, it's not endearing or funny at all.
00:08:06.620But it seems to me that a lot of adults are similar in that they struggle to see the distinction between what they want to be true and what is true.
00:08:18.540So take, for example, the alleged grownups who advocate for the government to forgive student loans.
00:08:26.420When I hear these people talking and explaining their point of view, I always think of my two-year-old son.
00:09:06.100So if you're asking for the government to forgive your student loans, what you're saying is the government should take money from people who did not take out those loans and use it to pay off the loans that you took out.
00:10:32.600Socialism is gaining popularity, especially in the younger generations on this same basis.
00:10:37.720People who just never, their mentality never developed past the age of two or three.
00:10:47.680There are people who, who want socialism to work, insist that it will work because they want it to.
00:10:57.020Not able to distinguish between what they want and what actually is.
00:11:01.500So they say we need to have socialism and you point out that all of these socialist systems throughout the last 100 or so years have resulted in calamity and death on an astronomical scale.
00:11:13.820You tell them to read the Gulag Archipelago.
00:11:16.080You tell them to read about Venezuela, look at North Korea.
00:11:18.860You give all this evidence, but it doesn't matter.
00:11:22.540They want socialism to bring about a utopia.
00:11:43.760You can show them pictures of the socialist bread lines and that doesn't matter because in their minds, all they're thinking is, well, yeah, but, but that's, I want it to be different.
00:11:54.100And so it will be, um, I think the, the green new deal is the most prominent and striking example of this mentality.
00:12:05.900Have you ever tried speaking to a, a true believer in the green new deal?
00:12:10.520Have you tried talking to them about it, getting their reasons for why?
00:12:13.840And you try to explain, well, you know, it's just not possible.
00:12:18.180We can't abolish air travel and retrofit every single building in the country and, you know, provide everyone an income, even if they're not working.
00:12:30.700It just, the money doesn't exist for it.
00:12:32.620It would be to even try would be a disaster.
00:12:35.440But there's this disconnect because all they're thinking is, yeah, but how great would it be if it did work?
00:12:46.900And because it would be great if it did work, then it will work.
00:12:50.380So the only remaining question is, is how is it that so many adults have made it to adulthood without developing, without developing the ability to distinguish, um, desire from reality?
00:13:05.420And I really have no groundbreaking answer to that.
00:13:08.120I think that, uh, this is just what happens when kids are never told no, um, never disciplined, never given any boundaries, never taught to cope with disappointment.
00:13:17.860Um, if you raise a kid like that, they will likely end up in jail or a socialist.
00:13:28.480Uh, and as a parent, I'm really not sure which I would prefer, but I think maybe I'd prefer the former to be honest, but this is, this is just what happens.
00:13:36.520If I, if I, if I can look at my two or three year old child and see, um, and make these comparisons between him and adults, uh, well, that just shows you, it's like, it's like, if, if it's very cute right now at two or three, but if I never teach him how to actually cope with reality, uh, then that's, that's where it's going to end up.
00:14:08.620Um, so switch of gears here last night, there was an utterly horrifying, um, though compelling.
00:14:19.740And I think important documentary that aired, uh, the first part of it aired on HBO, it's called leaving Neverland.
00:14:26.600And it's about Michael Jackson's monstrous abuse of, uh, two young boys, two young boys were now adult men, um, named, uh, Wade Robson and James Safechuck.
00:14:38.060Jackson was accused by five boys in total.
00:14:42.320And this documentary focuses on two of them.
00:14:45.360And it tells the story about how Michael Jackson would find these kids, groom them, endear himself to their families, kind of set the stage, uh, for, for what comes next.
00:14:56.840And then he would make his move and the sexual abuse when it began was of course, just, uh, and it was described in graphic detail in the documentary, but it was as, as you would expect, revolting, vile, evil.
00:15:10.320I mean, just, uh, nightmare inducing now, but I, I'll tell you what, as I was watching this for me, the most shocking aspect of the documentary, aside from the graphic details of the abuse itself.
00:15:25.100Um, but the most surprising thing to me as someone who was, you know, I was, I was a young kid myself when Jackson's was really at the height of his fame.
00:15:36.700So I, I never really paid attention to, I didn't really pay attention to Michael Jackson.
00:15:43.180Um, and the whole thing, when I was a kid, I mean, I just, uh, wasn't paying attention to it.
00:15:49.660So as I'm watching the documentary, it really surprised me to see how Jackson was constantly draped all over young boys in public on camera, constantly all the time.
00:16:02.760It just was, they've got, they've got just reams of, of, of footage of this guy's walking around with holding hands.
00:16:10.440You know, he's got his arm around, um, all these random young boys.
00:16:14.980He groomed these kids in public for the whole world to see, uh, and, and he would have one male companion who went with him everywhere.
00:16:27.540It wasn't just like the kid showed up at a charity event with him one time.
00:16:31.240It was like, they would have one kid who was with him for like a year everywhere.
00:16:35.660They would be on private planes together.
00:16:38.200They would go to all the shows together.
00:16:40.020They would just always be together, um, and holding hands, having their arms around each other.
00:18:49.780But just because a world famous, beloved, mega wealthy pop star with an army of top lawyers managed to secure an acquittal, um, uh, rather than be convicted based on accusations from powerless, nameless kids, that does not mean he's actually innocent.
00:19:40.020Even if you think it's possible that five boys would all accuse him falsely, all telling remarkably similar stories, uh, even if you think it's possible that they're all lying and really look, people are falsely accused.
00:19:55.260I've said that many times, uh, and there have been recent examples of people being falsely accused, but if you have five separate children over the course of a decade, uh, coming out and accusing you of, of abuse.
00:20:09.660And telling the same kind of story of abuse with all the same lurid details.
00:20:14.780Well, the chances that you're innocent are just extremely low.
00:20:21.580Um, and in fact, I'm trying to think of an example of a person who was accused five times of child molestation and was not a child molester.
00:20:29.640Uh, I, maybe you could, I can't think of an example, but even if you ignore that fact, and if you ignore the fact that he, that he, uh, that he paid off, uh, you know, at least one of his accusers.
00:20:41.140So, so even aside from that, we can still convict him in the court of public opinion based on the undeniable and proven facts.
00:20:52.800So forget about accusations for a minute.
00:20:55.200There are some undeniable proven facts, facts that even Michael Jackson admitted to.
00:21:01.400Fact number one, Michael Jackson, a grown man would seek out young male companions.
00:21:07.940Fact number one, fact number two, Michael Jackson, a grown man would invite these companions over to his house, which was filled with toys and amusement park rides.
00:21:20.560And he would endear himself to their families and he would give their, their parents money and lavish trips and all this kind of stuff.
00:21:28.920Fact number three, Michael Jackson, a grown man would invite these young boys into his bed.
00:21:35.920And this is something that he admitted to on TV.
00:21:43.280Fact number four, that bed where Michael Jackson, a grown man slept with young boys was also right next to his stash of bondage porn.
00:21:51.880Fact number five, that bed where Michael Jackson, a grown man slept with boys was also in a room behind a locked door at the end of a hallway that was rigged.
00:22:00.440So that alarms would go off if anybody was approaching.
00:22:03.200Now, those are all established facts, absolute 100 percent facts.
00:22:11.060And those right there all by themselves are enough for any sane person to know that Michael Jackson was a predator.
00:22:21.320Those facts alone tell you everything you need to know unless you are a total, absolute moron.
00:22:27.540And then you add in the fact that, what do you know, five of those young boys that Jackson shared a bed with just so happened to accuse him of abuse.
00:22:37.440And they all told remarkably similar stories and they even described his porn collection and they even described his genitalia.
00:22:44.680When you add those things in, well, then it just becomes overwhelmingly clear.
00:22:50.580But my point is that even if no child had ever come forward and accused him of anything, I would still say, based on the facts listed before, I would still conclude that this guy was a predatory creep.
00:23:06.520Even with no accusations, because there is no other rational explanation, a man, a grown man who seeks out young boys, befriends them, then invites them into his bed.
00:23:21.240There is no non-horrible explanation for that, none at all.
00:23:30.300Even if you are a moronic Michael Jackson defender, you know that if anyone not named Michael Jackson, if let's just say Bob Smith or William Jones or Frank, you know, whoever, had a habit of making friends with seven-year-old boys.
00:23:51.360Let's just say that there's a guy in your neighborhood.
00:23:53.620Let's say all the same facts apply, the same basic facts, except it's not Michael Jackson, it's Bob Jones and he lives in your neighborhood, Bob Smith and he lives in your neighborhood.
00:24:08.900Let's say there's a guy, Bob Smith, lives in your neighborhood and he likes to befriend seven-year-old boys and he always has a different seven-year-old boy companion who are not related to him.
00:24:19.000Not like that's his son or even a nephew or just random boys.
00:24:25.280Well, he'll invite these young boys over and he likes to invite them into his bed.
00:24:31.100Now, if that, if those, and those are all facts about Michael Jackson, if those are facts applied to Bob Smith in your neighborhood, you would know with absolute certainty that he was a creep.
00:24:42.100And you would call the police and you would call the police and then he would go to prison because Bob Smith in your neighborhood wouldn't have the army of lawyers.
00:24:48.940And he also wouldn't have the advantage of jury members who know him and love his music.
00:24:53.920Which, obviously, when you've got a guy like Michael Jackson on the jury, you know, ideally you're supposed to try to find people that have never heard of him.
00:25:04.100But it's just, in 2005, there was no way you would find anyone who had never heard of Michael Jackson.
00:25:09.860Um, so, you know, if that was Bob Smith, you would know for certain that he was a predatory creep and he would go to jail and that would be it.
00:25:21.060Yet, uh, as I've established, in spite of this overwhelming evidence that Jackson was a monstrous, horrible, predatory freak, in spite of that, legions of Jackson's fans still defend him.
00:25:39.560And they defend him viciously, you know, sending hate mail and death threats to anyone who discusses his pedophilia, swarming like zombies to defend their favorite pop star.
00:25:50.340Or so much so that there are, you know, there are a lot of people who just don't even want to touch this subject because they don't want to deal with Michael Jackson's idiot fans.
00:25:58.800Well, I happen to, I don't really care about that, which is why I'm, you know, but, um,
00:26:05.280and, and, and, and, as I think about this and I just, just trying to wrap my head around, um, these people who, who still defend this guy.
00:27:20.320And, and, and just to go back to the first point, just because a person says that they were not abused as a child, uh, doesn't mean that they actually weren't.
00:27:33.800Now I know Macaulay, I was going to say, well, Macaulay Culkin wasn't abused.
00:27:37.320Even if he wasn't, what, what does, so that proves that Michael Jackson didn't abuse these other kids who he slept in a bed with?
00:27:46.180And I'm not saying that Michael, that Macaulay Culkin says he wasn't abused and then, you know, okay.
00:27:52.460But I mean, only he knows, uh, the other guy who would know is, is dead now, but, uh, mercifully, but the fact that we have to deal with here is that when a child is groomed from a young age and brainwashed and manipulated by a monster like Michael Jackson,
00:28:11.920there's a very good chance that they'll never say anything about it.
00:28:16.880I mean, this, how many times do you have to see this before you understand this is the way it works.
00:28:22.480People can be abused and they could wait 50 years to say any, especially if, especially if they're abused as young children.
00:28:29.200Michael Jackson preyed on kids who were like seven or eight years old.
00:28:35.980These are young children and to, and to be abused at that young, at that age.
00:28:41.800And, and then on top of that, by a, by a guy who's the most, you know, most famous, one of the most beloved people in the world.
00:28:49.640So you have no idea what that does to your brain and what it does to you psychologically.
00:28:56.660So you could have people who never say anything either because they're afraid or they're confused.
00:29:03.360Um, or even because they, through this brainwashing, they've developed what they think is sort of a love for their abuser.
00:29:11.000Now it's not really love, but they can't tell the difference because of the trauma that they've endured.
00:29:16.040And that's, that's one of the, um, really, uh, disturbing things when you watch the documentary, you can see how these two men who are, you know, coming out and telling their story.
00:29:27.240They still appear to have mixed in with all this, with all the, you know, anger and the hurt and everything that they're obviously feeling.
00:29:34.780And there's also appears to be some kind of like almost, uh, affection that they still have for Michael Jackson.
00:29:41.860And when, when they, when they, you could tell that they almost are at certain points, they're, they're looking back sort of fondly on certain, you know, aspects of, of their, um, of their memories.
00:29:54.200And that just shows you that that's, that's the trauma, um, that abuse, uh, does to a person, especially when, when it happens at that age, when they're so young.
00:30:09.100So when Jackson's brainless defenders say, well, well, why did some of the accusers recant?
00:30:14.820And then later on they started accusing him again because they were children.
00:30:39.200I, I mean, if you're going to offer that again, if that's your excuse for a guy who's, who found young boys and invited them into his bed, if your excuse is, well, he was just a child.
00:30:51.280Then you are either incredibly, incredibly stupid, um, or you're not.
00:30:58.580And you know that what you're saying is crazy yet.
00:31:01.400You're saying in any way, because you're trying to find an excuse, um, for a guy's predations of little kids, because you liked the way he danced.
00:31:11.780Because that's what this is really about.
00:31:13.240All these people who love Michael Jackson, what do they love about him?
